NFL salary cap cuts 2023: Team-by-team tracker of players released into NFL free agency

By | March 6, 2023

NFL spring cleaning has commenced.

Unfortunately for players in the NFL, contracts oftentimes play heavily into whether or not they’ll be employed entering the following season. Guaranteed money is funny money, void years take center stage and players who were once thought to be roster locks hit free agency a bit early.

Already, notable cuts have been made. The Browns parted ways with veteran safety John Johnson III, the Giants are planning to cut the cord on the Kenny Golladay experience and the Falcons have moved on from Marcus Mariota.

Also of note early on is Carson Wentz’s early free agency. The Commanders made the first noteworthy cut in late February, moving on from the quarterback less than a year after acquiring him. Wentz joins a free agent quarterback class that features Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett and others.
